Vision Board Workshop
You will create a collage of images and words that represent your dreams, wishes, and goals, such as: a new job, a new car, or a fabulous vacation. The vision board collage is intended to serve as inspiration or motivation to help you achieve your goals or dreams. By viewing the vision/dream that you created daily via your vision board collage you will be able to allow your subconscious mind to absorb what you want. Your vision board will have pictures of your wants, needs and dreams. You can use words or pictures. This class is a lot of fun when you do it with a few friends. This process will help you to dream big and become self-empowered. You will have the confidence to have it all once you see what your vision is on a daily basis. A vision board is a fun way to create the life that you want to live!
